Chris Silverwood is set to be named England's new head coach, with an announcement possible as early as Monday.
Silverwood, who is currently England's bowling coach, has been interviewed for the role and discussions over the appointment took place over the weekend, Sky Sports News understands.
He is now set to replace Trevor Bayliss, who departed as head coach last month after four years in charge.
Gary Kirsten, the former India and South Africa coach, is also understood to have been interviewed by the ECB.
Silverwood is familiar with the England set-up having worked under Bayliss, and won both divisions of the County Championship while in charge of Essex.
The 44-year-old, who was a pace bowler with Yorkshire, played six Tests and seven one-day internationals for England between 1996 and 2002.
He is now set to become only the second Englishman to coach the national team on a full-time basis since 1999.
